Weeknights with Alice: Smart, Speedy Dinners, Starting with the Veg (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781761501425)

Alice Zaslavsky is an award-winning author, broadcaster and taste-maker. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Alice grew up with a cuisine that reaches for the veg first; it's no surprise then, that this is at the heart of her food philosophy, helping others across the world do the same through her books, radio and television work, and through her food columns.

Alice is the host of "A Bite to Eat with Alice" on ABC TV and long-time Culinary Correspondent for ABC News Breakfast and ABC Radio nationally. In 2025 she was inducted into the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival Legends Hall of Fame as a Trailblazer for her work as an educator and communicator. Her vegetable bible In Praise of Veg has been translated into 7 language, in 15 countries, winning such accolades as a Gastronomisch gold medal in Germany, an ABIA in Australia, and a James Beard finalist in North America.

She is also the author of ABIA-shortlisted bestseller Salad for Days, CBCA Notable kids' fun food fact book Alice's Food A to Z, and cooking confidence un-locker Better Cooking. Her "You've Got This" recipe column in The Guardian and "Ask Alice" advice column in Good Food encourage cooks of all abilities to get into the kitchen, and use what they've got - be it ingredient, skill or gadget. She's also the creator of the innovative digital food literacy platform Phenomenom, a comprehensive digital toolkit for schools that incorporates food into every subject in meaningful ways.
